The Shaws travel full-time as itinerant ministers, international missionaries and corporate prayer specialists. As a speaker, Denise's primary focus of teaching is upon the authority of the believer, the Glorious Church, victorious Christian living, and the renewing of the mind. She is a published author, having written many articles for "The Voice of Thanksgiving," and a Christian self-help book called, "Depression: The Silent Shame." Currently, the Shaws are preparing to release a new book, "The Church is Supposed to be Different." with another soon to follow, "Adventures in Prayer." He who has ears to hear, let him hear...
A little history: In January of 1998, Denise & her husband, Bryan, founded Adoration Ministries, Inc. as a non-profit, 501(c)3 evangelistic organization based in Branson, Missouri. They traveled extensively throughout North America until moving to Indiana in 2003 to found Open Door Christian Fellowship, which they pastored for eleven years (2003-2014). With a sincere passion to see God move in their community, they worked effectively to bridge denominational barriers to host several community oriented events such as youth concerts on the courthouse lawn and coordinated food drops from Feed the Hungry. They know that what God wants to do in Spencer, Indiana is bigger than just one church and long to see unity among believers (Ephesians chapter 4). The Lord made it clear to them before moving to Spencer, that economic development was one of His priorities for the community. They developed prayer groups and worked behind the scenes along these lines. They were instrumental in helping community leadership develop sound economic development policies and projects that would provide long-term sustainability to the community. To God be the Glory!
Denise holds ministerial credentials (ordination) with Rhema Ministerial Association International and A Glorious Church Fellowship - highly respected organizations which focus upon ministerial ethics and integrity. She is a graduate of Indiana State University (Terre Haute, Indiana) and Rhema Bible Training Center (aka Rhema Bible Training College) near Tulsa, Oklahoma (in Broken Arrow). She has studied under or been mentored by such men and women as Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin, Dr. Billye Brim, Drs. Ken & Lynette Hagin, Dr. Jim Kaseman and Apostle Keith Taylor. Bryan is a graduate of Life Christian Center's Bible School in Branson, Missouri through AFCM International. Seeing many doors of opportunity open, the Shaws are traveling once again. With a heart for missions, the corporation has been revived as "Adoration International" to be the global base of operations.
